Summary
Horse Island Fire rages through Francis Marion National Forest, devouring over 1,000 acres and threatening firefighters with unstable, falling trees as it creeps into roots. Rain has helped—about an inch and a quarter has damped things down—but smoke lingers as smoldering brush burns beneath. Crews are bulldozing containment lines east and north, exposing hot spots for rain to extinguish. Roads remain closed; no evacuations are in place, and homes are still safe. Drones near the fire force firefighting planes to halt operations, risking delays. Cause still under investigation. Containment at 50%—danger remains, work far from over.
